攀越一座又一座高山

看這本書，常常瞠目結舌，會發現自己本來有而沒察覺的問題。作者不是用強硬的口氣，說「如果你不照我說的去改進，你就會下地獄，神就會不喜歡你」，而是溫柔而堅定地指出一條更高的道路。看到自己的問題被素昧平生的人點了出來，真是驚心動魄，心裡不禁張大了嘴巴，卻叫不出聲音來。記在這裡，以後自己要溫習也方便，只可惜觸碰到一些內心太深層的篇章，不敢貼上來，只把一些有共鳴又覺得可以公諸於世的段落放上來。

2/6 Are Yoy Ready To Be Poured Out As An Offering?
Are you ready to be poured out as an offering? It is an act of your will, not your emotions. Tell God tou are ready to be offered as a sacrifice for Him. Then accept the consequences as they come, without any complaints, in spite of what God may send. God sends you through a crisis in private, where no other person can help you...If you don't deal with God on the level of your will first, the result will be only to arouse sympathy for yourself....you must be willing to be placed on the altar and go through the fire; willing to experience what the altar represents ── burning, purification, and separation for only one purpose ── the elimination of every desire and affection not grounded in or directed toward God...You "bind the sacrifice...to the horns of the altar" and see to it that you don't wallow in self-pity once the fire begins. After you have gone throught the fire, there will be nothing that will be able to trouble or depress you. When another crisis arises, you will realize that things cannot touch you as they used to. What fire lies ahead in your life?...

1/7 Spiritual Dejection
We look for visions from heaven and for earth-shaking events to see God's power. Even the fact that we are dejected is proof that we do this. Yet we never realize that all the time God is at work in our everyday events and in the people around us. If we will only obey, and do the task that He has placed closest to us, we will see Him. One of the most amazing revelations of God comes to us when we learn that it is in the everyday things of life that we realize the magnificent deity of Jesus Christ.
